Some of the turnstiles are regularly slow. The searches slow things down too. You don't want to miss the kick off.....or the booing.

I'm hoping to be on that flight too if the missus would ever hurry up.

Right. Fully fed now. Going to check out the cinema at 11:00.
Then check in and get a couple of hours kip.
Then eat early and get out to the Townley for a pint or two.
Might get over to City Square early for a pint before getting into the ground. Have the young fella with me so I'll have to take it easy.
Going to get into the ground earlier than the Real game last year. Was a helluva queue. Got into stand just after they'd kicked off.

C'mon City.

Ok so what's the verdict on The Poznan for tonight. BM is split over whether to do it or whether to boo the UCL anthem.

I think we could do both. Multitasking I know, but I'd chance it.

What's the opinion on here.

I'm going to do the Poznan even if no one joins in. The booing has had its day for me. If anyone starts booing I'm going to boo them.

Ta Ronan.
Quite a few on the plane this morning on their way over for it.
In the cinema at the moment waiting for Moonlight to start.
I'll have a review in one of the OT threads later.

Nervous about tonight. This lot are dangerous.
C'mon City.

Same here IWT.

If we manage to keep a clean sheet tonight, we'll have done unbelievably well at the back.

Amongst other things, I Just hope Caballero is back in goal.

Christ. Good film but not what either of us was expecting. He chose, I might add.
The Lego Movie would have done me.

He's nearly 15 by the way. I think he was expecting Boyz in the Hood.

Enough of that. Off to the match.

I'll be watching BT Sport tonight with the sound turned down. Can anyone recommend a station where I can get an unbiased streaming commentary? What are BBC Radio Manchester like these days?

Great night NB.
Got out early. Went for a pint in the Townley. In the ground early. Went for a pint in City Square afterwards listening to Natalie Pike and the crew being every bit as incredulous as I was about the ref.

Saw the replays etc.

Absolutely knackered now. Didn't really sleep last night before an early flight in the morning. Absolutely worth it though. Young lad loved it.
He's as hoarse as I am. Screaming and singing at the back of SS 316.

Back out to the City Store tomorrow to let him spend his money.

Happy Days.

Fair play IWT, I checked into hotel at 12, fell asleep, didn't wake up til six, mad rush again to get the missus out the door. Having a few in the hotel now to celebrate that win, safe to say the most bonkers game I've been at.

Was tempted to call into the Britannia on the way past. We're just up the road in the Ibis. Had one pint there and am about to turn thd lights out now. Both of us cream crackered.
5:30 flight tomorrow.
